The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

"Good boy, don't cry, it's going to break my aunt's heart!"

Mrs. Wang sat sideways beside Baochai, pinned the broken hair on her sideburns lovingly, and sighed, "This is all because I didn't think carefully. I originally wanted your elder sister to take a look at you first." .Who knew it would be like this?"

Aunt Xue sat on the other side of Baochai, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "Of course my sister is kind, but she is pitiful for Bao girl's innocence. "

Xue Pan sat on the round chair and stared at him, "What did Mom say, why can't a girl be a human being? Tell me, we all went together. If you have no face, everyone will have no face!"

Mrs. Wang's face froze, and Aunt Xue scolded: "Shut up! How can you speak here? Is this also talking to the elders?"

"Did I say something wrong?" Xue Pan didn't care when he made a mistake. He stood up and pointed at Baochai, "My sister is staying at home and doesn't go out easily. Where did this gossip come from? They entered the palace together, why should she be the only one being teased? According to me, something is wrong here!"

Baochai raised her red and swollen eyelids, and said softly, "Brother, stop talking."

Xue Pan was really kind to Baochai. Seeing her like this made her feel uncomfortable and angry, and her mother and sister tried to persuade her not to speak again, feeling more and more panicked, and went out with a flick of her sleeves.

Baochai was leaning on the bed before, but when she saw her brother go out, she sat up a little.Aunt Xue straightened the cushions behind her with her own hands.

Baochai forced a smile at Mrs. Wang, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Auntie, for thinking about it. Now that Auntie is busy at her place, she has to distract herself from seeing me. I feel really sorry..."

Mrs. Wang felt a little relieved when she heard this. She sighed, looked at Aunt Xue and said, "Don't worry too. I'll send someone out right now, so I can suppress this matter anyway. My sister, just rest assured. , there will never be any words that hurt Bao girl."

Baochai lowered her eyes, bit her lip, looking very pitiful.After hesitating for a moment, he said softly: "My aunt is of course sympathetic, but there are other people in this house... Why don't we move back. They are relatives anyway. In the future, my aunt will be bored, so I just ask sister Zhou to call me. It’s the same again.”

Mrs. Wang looked at her, although her face was haggard and her eyes were red and swollen, but her hair was not messed up and she spoke softly. At this time, she could still think of herself, and she nodded inwardly——after all, she is Bao girl, and she is not so restless when things happen. of.

Patting Baochai's hand, he said angrily, "My son, what are you talking about? Don't say it's not a big deal, it's a big deal for you to live here, and my aunt wiped it for you! You just relax Be careful, don't make those marketers lose their temper! Get a good night's sleep, and you'll be fine when you wake up! You are born and raised at home, and when I come back, I'll ask Baoyu to come over and talk to you."

When Baochai heard this, she seemed a little unexpected, her face flushed, and she slowly lowered her head.

Mrs. Wang got up, gave Baochai a few more instructions, and then winked at Aunt Xue.Aunt Xue understood, she also patted Baochai on the shoulder, and said to Ying'er: "It's good to serve you."

The two old sisters brought each other to the outside room and sat down. Mrs. Wang said: "Sister, I'm all to blame for this matter. I just said that Bao girl was born so well and has such a loving temper. Look, I have a solid idea in my heart. If I can get a word from my mother when visiting relatives, wouldn't it be a big face! At that time, the old lady will have nothing else to say. I think it's good, but who I know... oh!"

Aunt Xue raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and asked tentatively: "I'm not boasting about my precious girl, even if I have met so many girls, I am not as good as her. I know that my sister loves her so much, but, where is the old lady?" ..."

Mrs. Wang looked at her sister's confidant girl in the room, and only smiled and comforted her: "Sister, put your heart firmly in your belly, I have it all. Even if the old lady is not happy, the empress likes it, she still dares to say Anything else?"

Aunt Xue felt relieved when she heard this, and she also had a smile on her face, and said: "We are two mothers and daughters, we all depend on my sister."

He sighed again, "If eldest brother is still in Beijing, how can we be bullied like this?"

Mrs. Wang also sighed leisurely, her eldest brother Wang Ziteng is an outstanding figure among several generations of the Wang family.Previously, he was the military envoy of the Beijing camp. The Xue family happened to be transferred out of Beijing the year they entered Beijing, and they have not returned yet.

Mrs. Wang persuaded her sister and got up to leave.Aunt Xue went to see Baochai in the back room. Seeing that she was still sluggish, she couldn't help feeling distressed, so she asked Yinger to go out and bring in some snacks.

Baochai forced a smile and said, "Mom, I'm not very hungry."

Aunt Xue told Mrs. Wang's words in detail just now. Baochai listened, clutching the corner of the quilt with her white fingers, and said for a long while: "Mom, brother Cai's words were a bit blunt just now, but when you think about it carefully, it is indeed so It makes sense. They all went together, so why did people focus on me? If it’s a big tree that attracts the wind, it should be some of the second girls in this mansion. I also look weird when I look at this.”

Aunt Xue was taken aback, "According to you..."

"Tell brother to go out and investigate! Brother doesn't always talk about how big brothers are, let him go out and investigate! Where did this word come from, and how did it spread, it's better to find out."

Lin Yan laughed happily when he learned that Xue Pan was investigating the source of the rumor.Check it out, after the check, the Rongfu will look even better, the old lady, the second wife, Xue Baochai, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.They were in a hurry, so they didn't have the time to stare at Daiyu's ceremony, did they?

Sure enough, Xue Pan searched and checked, but the more he checked, the more angry he was.

The Xue family is just a businessman, and any decent official family in Beijing will not invite a businesswoman like Aunt Xue to associate with them.Naturally, she had no way of knowing what the original rumor was.But Xue Pan was able to investigate, and Lin Yan was so eager to add fuel to the flames that he was afraid that the Rongfu would not be chaotic, so he quickly found out.

When Aunt Xue Xue Baochai learned that the first few girls were all arranged into it, and then at some point, she became the girl who raised the Rongfu and trampled the girl who lowered the Xue family.

Baochai clenched her hands tightly, the nail on her little finger turned white and snapped off at the root, immediately a drop of blood oozed out, but she didn't seem to notice it.

Aunt Xue exclaimed when she saw it, quickly took Baochai's hand, and called Ying'er in a loud voice: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and get the medicinal wine!"

He cursed again: "This, this man's heart is too cruel! In order to pick out his own girl, he poured dirty water on my son's head! I, I will go to them to reason!"

Xue Pan couldn't hold back for a long time. Hearing what his mother said, he stood up immediately and shouted, "I'll go with Mom!"

"Mom!" Baochai came back to her senses, and hurriedly grabbed her mother who was about to leave, "Mom, what are you doing? Someone else came to bury me. Is it possible that Mom will make things worse?"

As he spoke, tears rolled down his face.

Aunt Xue was dragged away by her, and she came to understand, no matter what the rumors outside, her mother and daughter don't even go out on weekdays, and no one dares to talk about it anyway.If I really make such a fuss, wouldn't it mean that everyone knows that Baochai is a woman who doesn't keep her way?

"My poor Baochai..." Aunt Xue couldn't help but shed tears.

Xue Pan looked suffocated, and at this time, his mother and sister meant to bear it!

Aunt Xue ignored him, gritted her teeth, and persuaded Baochai with red eyes: "It's all right, didn't your aunt tell you to talk to Baoyu in these two days?"

When Baoyu was mentioned, Baochai's heart sank a little more—now that Baoyu is getting older, he can't say anything bad to himself, every time he sees her, she always calls out from her sister, but what she really thinks in her heart is that girl Lin?

Daiyu is preparing to marry now, except that she has to embroider a few stitches by herself, the rest will be done by her own embroiderers.Lin Yan had already greeted people, if there is something good, just ask someone to bring it over, in case Daiyu goes to see it.

Zhao Zi's wife often came over to help her. She also had two daughters under her knees, and the eldest one had already left the court.After going through the preparations for marriage, Mrs. Zhao is better than Nanny Wang and others.Checking everything on the checklist was more troublesome than Lin Yan.

Lin Yan was grateful for Mrs. Zhao's dedication, so he joked: "Madam is so troublesome about my sister, why don't I recognize her as my daughter. My sister also has one more person to love, so I can save a lot of heart."

Mrs. Zhao also has a straightforward personality. After hearing what Lin Yan said, she liked Daiyu's outstanding appearance and clever temperament, so she smiled and said, "I wish I could have such a daughter."

Lin Yan called Daiyu over, and said with a smile, "My sister will love you more in the future."

Because Lin Hai and Zhao Zi are good friends, and Mrs. Zhao's temperament gets along well with Daiyu, so Daiyu is also very happy.Lin Yan came out to fix the banquet, set up an incense table, and respectfully invited Zhao Zi back to the city. Daiyu came out to pay homage to his adoptive father and adoptive mother, and the two sons were officially married.

Miscellaneous things kept going on everywhere, Lin Yan was preparing for the exam, and at the same time was distracted by Daiyu's preparation for marriage—the dowry should be good and complete, and there must be no room for people to talk about it.

In the new year, Rong Mansion is finally looking forward to the visiting relatives of the imperial concubine.Although Jiamu sent someone to pick up Daiyu in advance, Lin Yan refused in the name of getting married.Even if Jia Mu was unhappy, she had to let it go.

On the day of the flower dynasty on the twelfth day of the second lunar month, Lin's mansion held a consecration ceremony for Daiyu.Jia's mother was very annoyed when she got a post in Jia's mansion.But why?

It turned out that in the girl's ceremony, besides the host, there was still a need for a guest of honor, who was appointed by a virtuous and capable female elder;

It turned out that Jia's mother didn't think of this before Yuanchun's family visit.All her energy was put on Yuan Chun.After visiting relatives, I didn't think of it.Although Jiji Ceremony is a ceremony for a girl to come of age, Rong Mansion's Spring Festival was never held, and Baochai was paid 20 taels of silver by her that year.After receiving Lin Fu's post, I suddenly remembered it.

According to her thinking, ordinary girls and Ji would have their own relatives and elders as guests.The Lin family has very few contacts in the capital, no matter how you look at it, it should be done by yourself.Even those who like it may come to invite Tanchun to take charge.

She just waited and waited, but she didn't see Lin Yan coming to invite her, so Jia's mother was very angry-my own granddaughter, I can't even preside over this funeral ceremony?

When it finally came to the Huachao Festival, Mother Jia gave up her mind completely, but she couldn't say this.Yuanyang asked Yuanyang to find a set of emerald heads and a set of gold inlaid red treasure heads from her dowry, and brought Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang to welcome the spring and cherish the spring, etc., to Lin's mansion.

Everywhere in Lin's mansion has a new look, Lin Yan said, this is my sister's big day, so we must make it auspicious and festive.Although he himself doesn't care about things, the old housekeeper Lin Cheng, the second housekeeper Chen Sheng and others are all seasoned and well-prepared.Especially Lin Cheng, who was used by Lin Ruhai when Lin Ruhai was around. In the past few years, he saw Lin Yan's kindness to Daiyu, and lamented that the master really entrusted the right person this time, and he put in a lot of effort.

Mother Jia and the others were welcomed into the flower hall, only then did they know that among the people Lin Yan had invited was Daiyu's adoptive mother, the wife of Shanzhang Zhao of Xishan Academy, and the guest of praise was Mrs. Zhao's youngest daughter.The guest of honor, that is, the one who recited the congratulatory speech for Daiyu and added the hairpin and hairpin, is the princess of Dong'an County!
